Words Sung By A Weeping Soul

RAIN

on this rainy day 

i look up at the sky 

raindrops fall on my face 

fierce and cold 

as if the heavens themselves are crying.

so much sadness 

such sorrow

such pain

in the distance i hear the thunder clap

in the midst 

tear drops start rolling down my cheeks

becoming one with the cold raindrops

 

as if unleashed 

i cry and scream

and 

no one hears me

the thunder protects me

telling me to let it all out

while it shelters me

so i cry and wail and scream

all this pain

all this sadness

i let it all out

slowly i start to go numb

i begin to feel hollow

empty.

as if there's nothing left inside of me.

yet the sky still screams.

the raindrops fall heavier and faster.

i blankly stare up at the stormy sky

silently 

i don't feel anything anymore

i stand there 

gazing

waiting

for something.

the rain stops slowly

but the skies never clear up.

grey clouds still linger.

waiting to burst forth any moment.
